When you first sign up for a MySpace profile youll see that the name you requested during sign up is shown at the top of your profile. As your profile matures or your interests change, you may want to redefine the direction of your profile and change its name.

Your name is practically your MySpace headline and what you select will have an impact on how people view you. Do you want to be known as just Your Name, or would you rather select a name that stands out from the crowd and gets people to take notice.

Using a name that represents your favorite interest is a great way to stand out. Youll also benefit by using a specific keyword or keywords that you would like to represent you. Choosing the right keywords will give you additional exposure in Searches throughout Myspace and even in the Search engines.

Changing your display name is quite easy. To do so youll want to sign in to your profile and click Edit Profile. Once you have arrived at the Profile Edit page select Name. Then type in your new display name. Clicking Save Changes and View My Profile, will allow you to see how it looks.

To get additional exposure you might want to consider using special symbols like , for trademark or , for copyright. Using symbols in or after your display name gives it a little more character and helps it to stand out.

Another trick I like to use to get noticed is to change the size of my display name in my CSS. Thats your cascading style sheet which is also known as your Layout. When a style sheet is added to your profile it can drastically change its look.

To change the size of your display name in your style sheet youll want to locate the .nametext element and make a couple changes. For instance if you would like a larger font you can add this bit of code after the element .nametext. Heres an example:

.nametext {font-size: 24pt;}

Making this small change will display a larger font size for your name and help it to stand out. When ever you have made any changes make sure you view your profile to see the results. Remember that MySpace only allows up to 50 characters in the display name. Trying to add more will result in a broken word.

Using the above strategy will help you get your personality across in a quick glance and help drive people of the same interests to your profile. After all, you can be whoever you want on MySpace. Would you rather be known as Superhero Extraordinaire, or just plain old, Bob?
